Ariana Madix had a stellar 2025. The former Vanderpump Rules star had her plate full with hosting gigs and acting stints, and it looks like she loved every minute. In 2026, the reality TV alum hopes to land even more hosting and acting jobs, and hopefully make time for travel too!
Ariana Madix hopes to get back on stage and travel
In 2025, Ariana kept busy with hosting gigs for Love Island USA and a special hosting spot with Dylan Efron for The Voice. She also appeared on Will Trent and had a special guest spot on St. Denis Medical. She was booked and busy!
And she has even more to look forward to in 2026. She spoke with E! News at the Golden Globes’ Nominees Night party and shared what she was most looking forward to in the year ahead.
“More hosting, more acting,” Ariana said. “I want to get back on stage. And honestly, I just want to keep traveling the world with my love.”
Ariana is dating Daniel Wai, and it looks like the two are still going strong. She previously said that he has been very supportive of her crazy schedule and understanding when she needed to jet to Fiji or rush to LA.
When asked what genre she wants to explore, Ariana answered, “Comedy. I mean, I have a couple more episodes of St. Denis coming out and I’m really excited for people to see those. And to be able to just continue to do that.”
She paused and added, “I mean, Amy Poehler’s here,” she said conspiratorially. “And I literally have been falling asleep to Parks and Rec for, like, the 10th time. So I felt like I manifested, I heard her voice, and I was like ‘Am I dreaming? No.’”
For now, fans can continue to watch Ariana in St. Denis and look forward to what she has coming up next. If she manifests hard enough, perhaps it will be a project with Amy!
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. You can stream it the next day on Peacock.
